Ma.in conclusions and recommendations: According to the signs of inflation in The People~s Republic of China, and the tendency of the economical opening up of the country, the Wuxi Enzyme Factory will encounter soon the problem of the economizing of its production processes. Therefore the development of strains and fermentation technology should be considered to be of crucial importance for the factory~s survival. The staff of the strain laboratories should continue the strain improvement concerning alpha amylase, glucoamylase, neutral protease and cellulase strains. The improvement work is to be done on the basis of the previous mission and ,report ("Third Mission to the Wuxi Enzyme Factory: Technical Assesment, Improvement of Production Strains") and on the basis of the current results. The technical circumstances and personal conditions are satisfactory for this improvement. Th~re are huge reserves as far as the possibility of technology improvement is educemed. Recently, however, there has not been any ' proper technical device offered regarding the technological development. This is why I recommend the purchasing or building of a versatile pilot fermenter system, or the renovation of the existing old pilot fermentation plant on the basis of the recommendations of the previous technical report. In the case of realizing the investment of the pilot fermenter quick and effective technology improvement should be started towards the elaboration of feed batch technology, which can provide higher fermentation yields and harvests.

The activity began on 28 May 1993 and lasted until 24 June 1993_ The present mission was a continuation of the work carried out between 10 November 1992 and 2 January 1993_ The objectives of the mission are listed in the job description in the Annex - 1, (page 19) _ The original aim of the current mission was to check the recent stage of the strain improvement work which was started during the previous mission. The main purpose of the mission was also to modify the previously elaborated strain improvement methods on the basis of the results gained during the last six months_ The original objectives were modified and new targets were defined after the discussion with Mr Huo Xing Yun deputy director_ The reason for this change was that the previously started GA and BAA strain improvement was interrupted by the start up of the new joint venture which brought a reorganisation of the laboratories, tasks and personnel. The initial results of the GA and BAA strain improvement seem to be good and the continuous strain develoi;:ment work will lead to higher activities_ Due to the delay, the GA and BAA strain improvement work has not reached yet that phase which would require any further modification. r Parallel with the GA and BAA improvement, the strain laboratory deals also with the improvement of the characteristics of a neutral protease enzyme producer strain (Bacillus subtilis) and its fermentation media. The improvement of the cellulase enzyme fermentation technology and strain selection has been commenced in a separate laboratory. The main task of this mission was to superwise and promote the improvement work of these laboratory sections (Annex - 2, page 22)_ - 2 - Concerning the neutral protease improvement, trials were made to develop the effectiveness of the monoculture selection method, and experime:ats were made for improving the laboratory -~·acale shaking flask fermentation technology. To facilitate the above improvements four types of cellulase producing strain were delivered ( sources: Technical University of Budapest and the Hungarian Type Culture Collection at the University of Horticulture and Food Industry, Budapest). One of them (Helminthosporium sativum) was used on an industrial scale and therefore could be considered a good producer (Annex-6, page 34). The further work concerning cellulase was focussed on this strain by making an attempt to elaborate its good maintenance, selection and an appropriate laboratory scale fermentation technology. As the production section can deal only with batch type fermentation technology, the laboratory flask-size fermentation results can be transferred directly to the production. According to the modified program a lecture was given on the topic of fermentation technology improvement (Annex-8, page 37), and a consultation was made with the technical management about the proper piping of bioreactors (Annex - 9, page 51). During the lecture and consultation it was emphasised, that the strain improvement

  • Beaker : a Simple Container for Stirring, Mixing and Heating Liquids Commonly Used in Many Laboratories
    Beaker : A simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories. It is generally cylindrical in shape, with a flat bottom. Erlenmeyer flask : The type of laboratory flask which features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck.(The tapered sides and narrow neck of this flask allow the contents of the flask to be mixed by swirling, without risk of spillage, making them suitable for titrations.) Volumetric flask(measuring flask or graduated flask) : A piece of laboratory glassware, a type of laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at a particular temperature. It is used for precise dilutions and preparation of standard solutions. These flasks are usually pear-shaped, with a flat bottom, and made of glass or plastic. The neck of the volumetric flasks is elongated and narrow with an etched ring graduation marking. Graduated cylinder(measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder) : A piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. Graduated cylinders are generally more accurate and precise than laboratory flasks and beakers. However, they are less accurate and precise than volumetric glassware, such as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipette. Pasteur Pipette(droppers or eye droppers) : Be used to transfer small quantities of liquids. They are usually glass tubes tapered to a narrow point, and fitted with a rubber bulb at the top. Burette(buret) : A device used in analytical chemistry for the dispensing of variable, measured amounts of a chemical solution. A volumetric burette delivers measured volumes of liquid. Petri dish : It is a shallow cylindrical glass or plastic lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells.

  • Basic Concept Laboratory Tech M
    Basic concept in Laboratory Techniques M. Sc. 2nd Semester Subject: Basic Concepts in Laboratory Techniques 1 Code: PGS – 504 (0 + 1) Chemical Use Guideline 1) Never use a product that doesn't have a label to reference. 2) Don't mix chemicals without specific authorization from the formulator. 3) Always use personal protective equipments. 4) When pouring chemicals, pour concentrates into the water and not vice-versa. 5) Never pour chemicals into an empty, unlabeled container. 6) Don't store flammable chemicals near a source of heat. 7) Pesticides, fungicides, etc. always must be stored in a safe and elevated position. Basically, there are four types of chemicals • Toxic chemicals : These are chemicals that are poisonous to you, and can act upon the body very rapidly. Hydrogen sulfide and cyanide are examples of toxic agents. • Corrosives : This type of chemical is usually an irritant. Corrosives can damage your body by burning, scalding or inflaming body tissues. Examples are chlorine and HCl acid. • Flammables : Flammables are the chemicals that burn readily. They may explode or burn if sparks, flames or other ignition sources are present. Examples are gasoline, benzene and ethyl ether. • Reactive : Reactive chemicals are those that require stability and careful handling. Some of them can explode or react violently if the container is dropped or hit. Nitroglycerine is an example. Basic Tips of Safe Chemical Handling 1. Read the label 2. Dress the part 3. Follow directions 4. Know emergency procedures 5. Be careful! 6. Report any suspected problems 7. Keep your work area neat, clean and organized 8.
